Display headlines directly inside your news article's OG images.

Introduction

OG.cool is a demo that shows you how you can display headlines directly inside your news article's OG image. Powered by @vercel/og.

Read the guide to learn more about how you can implement your own version: https://vercel.com/guides/displaying-article-headlines-in-social-previews

How it works

To try out OG.cool, all you need to do is replace the https:// (or https://www.) portion of the news article's URL with https://og.cool/.

Example:

• Original URL: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/23/climate/ocean-warming-fish.html
• OG.cool URL: https://og.cool/nytimes.com/2023/08/23/climate/ocean-warming-fish.html

The OG.cool URL will still redirect to the destination URL when a user clicks on it, but for bots like TwitterBot or SlackBot, they'll be shown an OG image with a nice headline in it (refer Examples section).

OG.cool currently supports the following publications:

• New York Times
• Wired
• Techcrunch
